That's fine for tiny things like mopeds and scooters, but for a full sized vehicle that means half a tonne of batteries.

- asdff 7y agoMaybe we should rethink how we design our electric vehicles. Still, if the batteries are all mounted along the bottom plate, it wouldn't be too hard to engineer a solution that can drop out, roll away, and have a fresh battery array be reinserted into the vehicle. We've been siloing our thinking that an EV should be some quasi hybrid between plugging in your phone to charge, and putting in a gas pump into a car. The best and most practical EV in the future will look nothing like a car today. Maybe in the future we will just bring back street car wiring to our cities and run an antennae above the vehicle like a bumper car.
